CLI autocomplete

The prb completion command generates an autocomplete script for your shell. It completes commands, subcommands, flags, and supported values.

Choose your shell below to enable autocomplete for the current session or every new session.

Bash

For the current session:

source <(prb completion bash)

To enable autocomplete for every session on Linux:

prb completion bash | sudo tee /etc/bash_completion.d/prb >/dev/null

On macOS with Homebrew:

brew install bash-completion@2
prb completion bash > "$(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/prb"

Start a new shell after installing the script. Bash must load bash-completion for the generated script to take effect.

Zsh

For the current session:

source <(prb completion zsh)

To enable autocomplete for every session:

prb completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_prb"

Start a new shell after installing the script. If completion is not already initialized by your Zsh configuration, add this to ~/.zshrc:

autoload -Uz compinit
compinit

Fish

For the current session:

prb completion fish | source

To enable autocomplete for every session:

mkdir -p ~/.config/fish/completions
prb completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/prb.fish

The completion script is available the next time Fish starts.

PowerShell

For the current session:

prb completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

To enable autocomplete for every session, create your PowerShell profile if needed and add the command to it:

if (!(Test-Path -Path $PROFILE)) {
  New-Item -ItemType File -Path $PROFILE -Force
}
'prb completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression' | Add-Content $PROFILE

Reload your profile to use autocomplete immediately:

. $PROFILE

Verify autocomplete

Type a partial command and press Tab. For example:

prb fram<Tab>

Your shell should complete it to prb framework. You can also test subcommands and flags:

prb framework l<Tab>
prb framework list --o<Tab>

If completion does not work, confirm that prb is available in the new shell and regenerate the script after upgrading the CLI so it includes the latest commands and flags.
